Hello Magnus, it's Bela.

I was just checking in with you.

voice;

[highwarlock]

Bela. [ His voice is cheerful, even pleased. ] Thank you for your concern. I'm doing just fine, though. Better than ever.

voice;

[onsilksheets]

Glad to hear that you're doing better than before. I suppose it has to do with the spirits being gone, yeah?

voice;

[highwarlock]

That's certainly part of it. It helps that someone from my world has come into town, as well.

voice;

[onsilksheets]

Oh? Are they a good friend or something more? [Consider her curious.]

voice;

[highwarlock]

They are. Very good, in fact. He's my boyfriend.

voice;

[onsilksheets]

That's wonderful. I'm glad to hear it, Magnus.

voice;

[highwarlock]

Is there anybody here like that for you from your world?

voice;

[onsilksheets]

No. I didn't date anyone back home because I had no time to. [Plus the trust issues she had.]

voice;

[highwarlock]

A shame. Love is one of the best experiences you can have in your life.

voice;

[onsilksheets]

Really? I thought that love brought people pain and misery but maybe I'm just cynical.

voice;

[highwarlock]

A lot of times, love does end in pain. Especially for the immortal. But it's always worth it, in the end.

voice;

[onsilksheets]

I'm not immortal. But I am also not looking for love. Just fun. [She had been betrayed and hurt by people in the past who were meant to love her.]

voice;

[highwarlock]

I am, though. Immortal. And when you live forever, "just fun" ends up being not enough.

[ So has he, but he hasn't let that stop him. ]

voice;

[onsilksheets]

Maybe I'll learn that for myself for day.

voice;

[highwarlock]

Perhaps.

[ Then a rapid change of subject. ]

I forgot to ask: how are you doing?

voice;

[onsilksheets]

I'm doing well, thanks. As well as someone can do in a place like this.

Nothing has really changed.

voice;

[highwarlock]

That's good. I'm glad you're doing well.

[regretter]

Is now a good time for a practical demonstration?

{video}

[highwarlock]

Now would be a perfect time.

{video}

[regretter]

Excellent. I'm in a large open area in the ruins.

{video}

[highwarlock]

I'll be there shortly, then.

[ Aaaaand disconnecting the call! ]

ring ring, magnus;

[senca]

[ guess who has blue eyes, a grumpy disposition, and sounds even more cranky than the last time you saw him? this guy right here. ]

Sebastian is in Anatole. [ and that might be why. ]

[highwarlock]

[ How can he possibly be more grumpy than--

... Whatever. ]

So I've seen.

[ Not exactly the social call he was hoping for, but oh well. It'll have to do. ]

[senca]

[ hey, he even threw his forge across the room earlier. ]

And Simon is back. [ a pause and then he sighs. ] We're meeting up at Izzy's place to talk about it.

[ aka to talk about what happened with max and the binding thing with jace. he gets quieter then, the anger draining from his voice. ]

Will you come? Please.
